An Appeal Far-Reaching.

The responses that come to the APP

are only exceeded in pathOs by the ap
peal itself. Below we give some ex-
tracts from letters received. A sub
scriber to the CaledOnian from Massa-
chusetts writes: Enclosed find So for
the black eyed girl in Turkey, spoken
of in the CaledOnian." A subscriber
i'm New York writes 81 notice in the
Caledonian that you will receive and

st. Andrews New Rector.

Rev. George III. Bailey began his
work at St. Andrews church last Sun
day. There was good attendance
and he was very cordially welcomed
10y his new charge. The sermon had
special reference to his work. 1t wa s
very fitting, he said, that it should
begin with the fourth Sunday in Ad-
vent. He was here both as priest
and as friend, but he was account
able to no man for his Stewardship,
only to his Master. Mr.. Bailey comes
to united people and begins his rec
torship very auspiciOusly. He makes
his home for the present at the Athe-
nRum boarding house until a suitable
tenement can be found. The Richford
Gazette, speaking of his farewell ser
mon in Richford, which was preached
on the llth instant to large congre
CATION, says: "Mr. Bailey has labore,l
faithfully for st. AIMS society, and his
removal to a new field of labor is y
matter of deep regret not only to his
parisIiioners, but to the many friends
he has made Ontside his parochia
work"

of the notable conspiracies in the his

RECENT DEATHS.
county,

WEsT.-George E. West, who died
at Newport Tuesday Dec. ID, at the age
of 40, was more or less identified with
St. JOhnsbury i'm the earlier years of
his life. He was a native of Troy and
fitted for college at the st. Johnsbury
academy, .afterward graduating at
Burlington university. For several
terms he was teacher in the st.
JOhnsbury high school and afterward
was engaged in mercantile business at
North Troy. For some months after
the Passumpsic road was extended
north he ran as passenger conductor
between st. JOhnsbury and SherbrOOke
and when the Stanstead branch was
completed he was placed in charge of
the station at Derby Line, a position
he held until five years ago when fail
ing health obliged him to resign.
About four years ago he removed to
Newport where he was living at the
time of his death. He was devoted
Christian man and worthy citizen.
Some sixteen years ago he married
Miss Eluvia Wright of st. Johnsbury
Centre who had also been teacher
with him in the school there. She,
with their two children, son and a
daughter, survive him.

A CATHOLIC COLLEGE.--THREE
ENTERTAINMENTS. ETC.


The provin cial of the Marists Broth
ers was here last week and inspected
the old Catholic church and the pres
ent school house with view to their
adaptability for educational purposes
of higher grade than the present
Catholic schools of this place. 1t was
decided to convert these two buildings
into IA commercial college. The walls
of the old church will be raised and
the present roof give place to French
roof. There will be two floors put in
making two stories for school purposes
with hall the size of the building
overhead. A portion of the old school
house will be adapted to homes for the
teachers and the rest will be used for
school purposes. The religious order
of Marists Brothers has many colleges
similar to the one about to be estab-
lished here, in France, England, Scot
land and Ireland. There are now
about 200 boys in the Catholic schools
of st. JOhnsbury and 30 or more 9th
ers that are at higher grade schools in
Montreal, Burlington and other places.
1t is thought that when the new ar
rangements go into effect there will be
nearly if not quite 300 young men and
boys enrolled.
The young ladies of the Sodality OF
the B. V. NJ. are to give three enter.
tainments on the evenings of Dec. II
%, and %, in st. Agnes hall for the
purpose of raising funds with which t.
buy pipe organ for the new church
On the first evening there will be al
address and ii concert; Oh the secOnC
evening instrumental music and lee
ture on Daniel O'Connell, the Irisl
liberator, and Jacques Cartier, the dis
cOverer of Canada, by c. Thibault; OIL
the third evening, concert with clos
ing address. Refreshments will b.
served.
The new Catholic church is bein,
slated and is about ready for plaster
ing inside. 1t is expected that it will
be ready for occupancy next fall. TIL,
contract calls for its completion b.
Dec. 20, 1888, so that Christmas service
will be held in the new structure mex
year.

Farming in Kansas o..

Every one about these parts knows
of the executive ability of Col. A. P.
Blunt, formerly of this place, but for
many years cOmmandant of the United
States military prison at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas. When he took COM
mand of that post the soldier prisoners
were kept in idleness-a bill of expense
to the government and burden to
themselves. Col. Blunt at once organ
lied these several hundred prisoners
into service and the once indolent
camp soon became hive of industry
which is better for the men and the
government also. Besides the i'm
prOvements about the post and large
manufacturing industry where army
| shoes, harness, ETC., are made, a large
farm is carried on by these prisoners
which yields good income as the fol-
lowing figures of the product of 1887
shows:
100 bushels sweet potatoes.
II bbls. spring onions.
20 bbls. spring radish.
l6 carloads spinach.
IL bbls. lettuce.
470 bushels turnips.
652 bushels beets.

COUNTY COURT.

The case of Hugh C. Moore VS. B. F.
Haviland, which was on trial last
Thursday went to the jury Friday af-
ternOOn and they were out until about
5 o'clock Saturday morning when they
returned with a verdict for the defend
ant. Ide & Stafford appeared for the
plaintiff and Bates and May for the
defendant.
The next case that came to trial was
that of d. M. Silsby, assignee, VS. c. NJ.
Carpenter. This was an action of trO-
yer to recover note which the assignee
claimed the defendant had taken when
he knew the parties giving the note
were insolvent. This case grew out of
the failure of Webster & Corliss of
LyndOnville in November, 1886. AT
ter this firm had become insOlvent and
when, it is claimed, the defendant
knew this fact, Webster & Corliss
gave Carpenter note for $500. This
suit was brought by ID. VI. Silsby, as
signee, to recover for the benefit of all
the creditors. Judge Taft ordered
verdict for the plaintiff. Ide & Stat
ford and Cahoon appeared for the
plaintiff and Gleason for the defend
ant.
j. E. Giffen apt VS. John Barr, suit
for the penalty of $40 provided by stat
ute for not discharging mortgage af-
ter it had been paid came next with
Wilson & Powers for the plaintiff and
L. ID. Hathaway for the defendant.
The jury brought in verdict for the
plaintiff.
The next case and one that is still on
trial is that of Edward F. Root VS.
John Gray and John C. Gray. Plain
tiff brings suit for trespass, the case
relating to disputed boundary line
between lands owned by Root and the
Grays. F. w. Baldwin appears for
the plaintiff and Ide & Stafford for the
defendant.

where, brings up the subject of old
people. Probably the oldest person
in this town is Mrs. Young the
mother of l. B. GOrham of Church
street. Her ninety sixth birth day
comes the oath of next month. Hell
health has been remarkable and heI
mind is yet as clear as ever. She is
quite deaf and unable to read, but can
hear her daughter who reads to her
Her memory is something remarkable
She repeats whole chapters of the Bible
and some sixty hymns which she had
committed in her younger days, and
much of her time is spent in this way
Her maiden name was Prince and hel
family is noted in the political history
of Maine. She was born in Buckfield
Me-, but most of her life was spent in
Norway. She has lived with hel
daughter here for the past 20 years.
There is another very aged woman il
town, Peter Clements grand mother
who claims to be over 100 years, but
her age is not exactly known.

-Beauman Butler exhibited his
sanding machine for icy sidewalks in
this village Tuesday. 1t works to a
charm. One man with fast walking
horse can sand more walk in one hour
with this machine than can be done
with a man with a shovel in half day,
and it will be better done too. By
taking an early start the mac hine will
sand all the principal walks in the
village before business hours.

character of the exercise in the gym

previous familiarity or training is ne
cessary. There are in every class

new. Upon joining, each member may
if he choose, be examined aud meas
ured and, according to his particular
needs, be directed in general class
work or in special work under the su-
perintendent's supervision. The gym
nasium is open during the day and
evening for private exercise and three
hours day will probably be given to
general class work at hours convenient
twenty minutes is given to dumb
bell drill which brings into play every

vorite exercise and is taken by many
who take nothing else. After this tie

The Late Col. Mead.

Col. John b. Mead, who died sud-
denly at Randolph last Friday, mar
ried for his second wife Miss Laura
Kimball, an estimable lady for some
years principal of the Union school in
this place. She survives him with one
daughter, and there are three children
by former marriage. 1t is thought
by some that Col. Mead's death was
fastened by the unfavorable decision
of a will case in which he was largely
interested and which was arbitrated BY
Judge Royce, whose decision Col
Mead felt was very unjust. This de.
cision was made at Woodstock les.
